Chapter3

****Ishita POV****

     I was very nervous as it was my wedding night and my so-called hubby will be always busy with his office work. My mom and jhanu aunty followed up to our bedroom and closed the door behind me. I stood at the door holding a glass of milk in my hand. I checked the room, it was fully decorated with flowers and the room was filled with scented fragrances.

But one person was missing, none other than my hubby. I noticed one paper on the nearby table.

" I got urgent work at the office, don't wait for me. I will be late".

I heard from my friends that wedding night will be the most beautiful memorable moment in my life but for me, it was an unforgettable bitter experience. I felt rejected and tears were shedding from my eyes. I looked at our bed which was decorated with flowers. 

He hurt my heart but also killed my hope in this marriage. I wiped my tears and removed my jewelry except for my nuptial chain. Even I don't want to touch that bed now and went to sleep on the couch.

All my dreams about marriage and love from my husband disappeared. I, myself decided to be strong for my parent's happiness.

I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but tears from my eyes rolling down through the corners of my eyes.

         As my dad informed me to wind up all my office work early as it was my wedding night. I was not ready for that. By the force of my dad, I went home. When I went inside my room, I observed it was fully decorated with flowers like a romantic setup. For me, it was a namesake marriage for my mom. As I want to escape from this night, I wrote a false message that I was going on urgent office work.

      I know that I was hurting her knowingly or unknowingly but I had to do. To forget everything, I went to the pub and had some alcohol to relax. I checked the time. It was already 1 at night. Unsteadily I walked towards my room due to the alcohol effect as I was not a regular person to it.

I checked the room once again, then my eyes glued to the person who was sleeping on the couch none other than my wife.

She was looking angelic and damn hot then I checked her dried tears on her cheeks which made me sad. Except feeling sorry for her, I can't do anything. I slowly walked towards her couch and covered her with a duvet.

As I was very tired and drowsy, I collapsed on the bed with removing my shoes.

With bright sunlight through the window, I opened my eyes lazily. I remembered last night's incident and got tensed whether Ishita will tell everything to my family members. I stood straight from the bed. I didn't find her in my room. With tension, I was sweating badly whether she informed her parents. Then I observed myself without shoes and socks. I remembered I didn't remove it last night then how come it was missing…. I was thinking in mind.

      My chain of thoughts was interrupted by the sound doorknob. Ishita was hesitantly walked towards me with a cup of tea.

She kept the cup on the nearby table and left the room without looking at my face.

After what I did last night, no wife will not want to talk to her husband. But one thing was a surprise to me, she didn't complain to my parents nor her parents.

" It seems she is very patient and mature in thinking," I thought...

     I woke with sudden noise in my room. I was scared of who might be this midnight as I was new to this place. I slowly opened my eyes and checked myself.

I found some covered with the duvet.

Who covered with duvet … I thought.

After that, I was dumbstruck on seeing my hubby walking unsteadily towards the bed. All at once, he was collapsed on the bed.

     I gathered all my strength to control my tears and went towards him. I noticed he didn't even remove his shoes. I removed it and covered him with another duvet.

I don't know how much time I cried for my fate...

When I opened my eyes, I checked the time it was morning 5.30. I completed my morning business and draped a yellow colored saree. I went to the kitchen to have some coffee. Already my mom and jhanu aunty were busy arranging breakfast at the dining table.

" hey dear, you can take a rest for some time." Jhanu aunty asked me.

" No, she has to wake early. Now she is married and to have to take household responsibilities" my mom cutoff aunty's words.

" she is my daughter now, no need of your advise," aunty said.

My mom nodded with a smile.

" ok dear, you got ready. So can you prepare any dessert or sweet today?" aunty asked.

I nodded my head and prepared porridge. Everyone tasted it and appreciated it as it was tasty.

After some time Jhanu aunty asked me to take tea for my hubby. As there was no other way to escape to face him, I went with a teacup. By the time, I entered the room, he was awake and was thinking something seriously.

I don't want to see even his face, so I placed the cup on the nearby table and came out from the room.

I was feeling very suffocating with his presence. I felt like crying but I can't cry not show my pain because of our parents. If they came to know about his behavior, their friendship might be spoiled. I don't know how I could lead my life with him…

Stay tuned...
